Nvidia Backs AI Boom
Nvidia is predicting a 70 percent jump in revenue in the next fiscal year, riding high on soaring demand for AI computing.
REPORTER:
The chipmaker's forecast, announced during Wednesday's earnings call, far exceeds Wall Street’s average estimate of 44 percent growth. But Nvidia says shortages of memory components and rising memory costs could squeeze its expansion. The company's second-quarter revenue more than doubled from a year earlier, driven by demand for its data center products. It's also the first time Nvidia has issued a revenue forecast a full year in advance, a move that could help ease investor concerns of an AI bubble.
